Fuji [Four Beauties]
Chapter 24 Stunning color, color loss, and color change 3 in 1... (1)
So far, what else can we do?Everyone has arrived, Song Ci has no other choice but to continue pretending to be sick.Fortunately, he had been pretending for a long time, now Song Ci only needs to close his eyes and pretend to be unconscious.
There was the sound of creaking and opening the door, and Song Ci was in a daze.When she first came, it seemed like this was the case.I don't know when she will be able to leave this era.Can she go back to her time?
"How is Miss Xi Shi's condition?"
"My lord, Miss Xi Shi has been in a coma for a long time. Mrs. Jun invited many doctors for Miss Xi Shi, but nothing worked. I'm afraid..."
"It's already this serious?"
"The doctors who came to treat Miss Xi Shi all said that there was nothing they could do about Miss Xi Shi's illness. There was nothing I could do either."
Song Ci closed his eyes while listening to their conversation.
In fact, Song Ci said that he was pretending to be sick, but in fact he was just pretending to be in a coma.The doctors are here, after taking her pulse.If you are not smart, you can't see anything.Clever, it can be seen that Xi Shi was born with heart disease.But even if they could see it, they couldn't cure it.Song Ci also knew that this problem should not be cured.If it was in her time, maybe there was Zhi, and now there is little expectation.
After a few conversations with the people in the room, they left.
After they left, Song Ci opened his eyes.After coming to Wu country, she spent most of the time pretending to be sick.There were a few times of this, and it wasn't just pretending, it was a real illness.What Song Ci was most worried about was how long Xi Shi's body could last.
Song Ci once thought about whether to seek medical treatment after escaping.See if you can find a doctor with excellent medical skills, who can delay the life of this body.Song Ci could think of Bian Que as the only famous doctor born in this era.It's a pity that Song Ci came too late. Bian Que passed away more than ten years ago.It is impossible to seek medical treatment from him.
After much deliberation, Song Ci decided to do his best to obey the destiny.If you can escape, try to find a doctor.If it can't be cured, I have tried my best, and there is nothing to regret.
Now, everything has turned around, and the situation is not in her favor.No matter how optimistic Song Ci was, he couldn't help being a little impetuous.She worked hard for so long, but accidents appeared one after another.Always jumping out to stop her when she was about to succeed, why didn't she get angry?
Anger is anger, Song Ci still remembers to keep calm.Under such circumstances, if the head is hotheaded, all previous efforts will be wasted.Now, Fu Chai fell ill unexpectedly, and Song Ci had to figure out the situation. How is Fu Chai's condition?If Fu Chai was seriously ill, the war between Qi and Wu would definitely not start.If he had only a minor illness, with Fucha's character, he would definitely go out again after he recovered from his illness.
After all, the preliminary work has been done for so long.Fu Chai took out all the things that Wu Guo could produce.After making such a big move, but in the end he stopped fighting, how can he afford to lose his face?
There are also Gou Jian and Fan Li, who also need attention.Now they are too close, Song Ci will be easily implicated if there is any disturbance.Although she believed that Gou Jian and Fan Li would not be so stupid as to play tricks in Wu's capital.However, accidents happened one after another, and there was no guarantee that one day Gou Jian's head would get hot and he would do something amazing.Now they are grasshoppers on the same rope, she doesn't want to be killed by Gou Jian.
Now that things were going on, Song Ci couldn't bear to lie on the bed and not go out to inquire about news.She can't go out during the day, and everyone is asleep at night, where can she go to get news?
Song Ci racked his brains, and finally decided to go to that guy's house, Bo Pi.Bo Pi was Fu Chai's favorite minister.Because of his husband's difference, Bo Pi, who has no great ability, can enjoy all the glory and wealth in the state of Wu.If Fu Chai had any major problems, Bo Pi would be finished with him.He is definitely one of the people in the capital who cares most about Fu Chai's health.If Fu Chai's condition was really serious, it would be strange that Bo Pi could sleep peacefully at home.
Just go to Bo Pi's house and see his reaction, and you can know something about Fu Chai's situation no matter what.Bo Pi's home is much more lax than the palace guards.
After nightfall, Song Ci quietly ran out of the Yue embassy and headed for Bo Pi's house.
Bo Pi's home is not far from that unlucky Tai Bu's home.That area is where Wu officials live, and many relatives of the royal family live there.The guards there are tighter than other places in the capital.However, as long as you figure out the patrol rules of the guards, it is relatively easy to avoid them.
Speaking of it, among a bunch of high-ranking Wu officials, Xiangguo Wu Zixu seemed out of place.He did not live in the area where officials gathered, but set his home in a place surrounded by many civilians.
Song Ci was familiar with the way, walking in the official residence area, and soon arrived at Bo Pi's home.The architectural level of this era is much worse than that of later generations.Even for a favorite like Bo Pi, the place where he lives, in the eyes of Song Ci, is nothing more than a larger earthen house.Compared with those high-rise buildings, it is really not worth mentioning.
Arriving outside the door of Bo Pi's house, Song Ci vaguely saw that there were still lights on inside.Her heart tightened, it was already midnight, and Bo Pi hadn't slept yet.Could it be that Fu Chai's illness is really serious?
Song Ci didn't go over the wall, she walked around the wall of Bo Pi's house.After going around in a circle and basically finding out the layout of the wall, Song Ci chose a place with the lowest risk to dig in.After turning inside, Song Ci carefully observed the surrounding objects, and found that this was the kitchen of Bo Pi's family.It is said to be a kitchen, but it is actually a place with an earthen stove.
Song Ci felt over to check.There is still a strong residual temperature in the stove, which means that the stove has not been turned off for a long time.Song Ci went to check other items in the kitchen, and there were some leftover minced meat on the wooden board.The minced meat is a little solidified, and basically there is no temperature.
It was so late and he was still in the mood to eat. Bo Pi was not in a bad mood.Thinking of this, Song Ci also felt a little relieved.It seems that Fucha's illness is not a big problem.If he was really seriously ill, Bo Pi would not be in a good mood, and would eat supper in the middle of the night.
After checking the kitchen, Song Ci didn't go any further.She climbed over the wall without a sound and left Bo Chu's house.Then, Song Ci ran to another place.
In the dead of night, most people in the capital had already fallen asleep.But some people are working vigorously at this time.Among them are those who deliver daily necessities to the palace.For example, people who deliver water, vegetables, etc., and people who transport all kinds of garbage from the palace.Only by working hard at night can those nobles wake up during the day and enjoy all kinds of fine wine and food.
These people also live roughly within one area.Due to the nature of their work, they make a lot of noise at night.If they live in other areas, the surrounding residents will naturally not tolerate people who come to disturb their dreams in the dead of night.
When it came to the place where the night shift workers lived, Song Ci became even more cautious.There are too many people here, so don't be careless.However, Song Ci doesn't have to worry, this place is actually similar to the street market during the day.It was noisy and lively, and everyone was doing their own work.As long as Song Ci doesn't run out, perform performance art.The probability of other people paying attention to her is not too high.
What Song Ci is wearing now is not the night clothes in TV dramas.She changed into the most common clothes worn by ordinary people in the state of Wu, and also put on some makeup on her face.Make yourself look sallow and malnourished.She also had many moles and birthmarks on her face.When people see her, they don't want to stay on her face.
It can be said that even now Song Ci is going out swaggeringly.People who are busy will not be surprised.People dressed like Song Ci can be found everywhere in the capital of Wu.Who wants to stare at a very common person all the time?
After arriving here, Song Ci hid in a secret corner, quietly listening to the conversations of the people around him.If you want to inquire about news, this is really a very good choice.No matter what era it is, people are very interested in gossip.Places like this are a good place for people to gossip.
After hiding it, Song Ci listened attentively.
In this place, which is more lively than the vegetable market, people are exchanging topics of interest.Some people talk about topics that are thousands of miles away from each other.
"I said, Old Wu, you have pulled a lot more buckets recently than before. Is it true that the nobles in the palace are having diarrhea recently?"
"Don't you send in this venison? On weekdays, this is the most popular."
"The rice tribute from the Yue Kingdom is getting less and less. Does it mean that the king doesn't like to eat the rice from the Yue Kingdom?"
"A few days ago, envoys from the State of Lu paid tribute to a lot of kudzu roots. There are many of them in Wu State. Why did they send them all the way here?"
"It's almost dawn, hurry up, or you won't be able to deliver water in time."
"These chestnut rice are specially prepared for the cranes newly raised by the king, so they must not be scattered."
"My queen, I'm waiting for these gauzes to be used as curtains."
……
Song Ci eavesdropped for a long time.Thanks to these gossip people, she is now in the palace of King Wu, which nobleman likes what, and whoever does not deal with whom.Which country produces the best products, the number of times Fucha travels, etc., useful and useless, I learned a lot of strange information.From this pile of strange information, Song Ci deleted and subtracted, and came to a conclusion: everything in the palace is as usual.Fucha just ate less and stretched more frequently.Other supplies are still the same, and it seems that Fucha has no major problems.
After receiving the news, Song Ci went back contentedly.She can already be sure that the war between Qi and Wu is only delayed for a while and will not end.Just wait for a while, and when Fu Chai is ready, he will definitely lead the army to go out.His own plans were not affected much.After drawing these conclusions, Song Ci felt relieved.There have been too many accidents to disturb her plan, and she doesn't want to make any more messes.
Song Ci waited and waited, feeling that it had been a long, long time.The news of Fu Chai's expedition again spread throughout the capital.It wasn't until Fu Chai's army had gone a long way that Song Ci heaved a sigh of relief, and finally there were no more problems.
So, she immediately began to implement her plan of pretending to be dead.
After returning from outside the city of Gusu, the Vietnamese mission to see off the Wu army.The members of the Vietnam Mission were surprised to find that Miss Xi Shi's condition had a new development.Weird spots began to appear on her body.
The people from the Vietnamese embassy immediately went to invite the doctor.After the doctor came, he didn't see any problem, and left after prescribing a few herbs.Hearing what the doctor said, Song Ci secretly scolded quack doctors for misleading people.The members of the Vietnam Mission obviously had the same idea as Song Ci.Such weird spots, they said there was no problem, but they didn't believe it.
So, the people from the embassy invited other doctors to come.There are also doctors who hold the same opinion as the previous doctor.Others said that Song Ci's symptoms were caused by the invasion of evil spirits, and the accumulation of evil spirits under the skin formed strange spots.
In short, after a series of doctors came, no one found that the spots on Song Ci's body were unusual.Song Ci, who was very frustrated, decided to make persistent efforts, expanding his freckles little by little.
A few days later, the spots on Song Ci's body gradually expanded.Moreover, the color also gradually changed from dark red to blue, and some of them were close to jet black.This frightened the people of the Vietnam Mission, and they rushed to find the doctor.
The previous doctors have been called many times by them.I read Song Ci every time, but every time there was no result, and the medicine didn't work.Most of those doctors are unwilling to come again.No improvement after treatment. Such patients will only smash their brand names and ruin their reputation.Since it can't be cured, it can't be cured.
As a result, these doctors could not be invited, and the members of the Vietnam Mission had to find other ones.In the past, all they invited were famous doctors in the capital.After tossing back and forth, they hired all the doctors they could.Now it has come to the point where there is no doctor to ask for.
Song Ci continued to work hard.After a few more days, a large area of black color patches appeared on her body, and the skin of her whole body was basically gone, and there was no place that looked normal.
At this time, the members of the Vietnam Mission discovered that Song Ci's symptoms this time were very different from those in the past.The symptoms looked more like those that would appear on a person infected with the plague.There was a big plague in the Yue Kingdom before, and there were people in the Yue Kingdom Mission who had personally experienced the plague.How terrible the plague is, no one knows better than those who have experienced it.If what Xishi got was really a plague, then the situation would be really dire.
How to do?
The members of the Vietnam Mission were sitting together, feeling panic and anxiety in their hearts.After Mrs. Goujian and the prince of Yue State left, the envoy Wang Yun, who had been stationed in the capital of Wu State all the year round, was in charge of the Yue State Mission.Wang Yun served as an envoy for many years, traveling back and forth between Wu and Yue all the year round, and Gou Jian also trusted him very much.
When something like this happened, the members of the Yue State Mission were bewildered, and they all looked at Wang Yun, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Regardless of whether Miss Xi Shi has the plague or not, people in the Wu Kingdom must not know about it. Otherwise, we will all die." Wang Yun said solemnly.
Wang Yun's words were not false threats.Everyone knows the horror of the plague, if people know that someone in the Yue embassy has the plague.The people inside will definitely be regarded as having the plague, and no one will give them a chance to survive.
"But paper can't cover fire. How can we hide such a big matter? We have invited so many doctors to see it before. If they tell the truth and people find out, we will only die." An envoy from the Yue Kingdom said.
"At this point, we have only one choice, to send Miss Xi Shi out of Gusu City as soon as possible."
"But Miss Xi Shi is here... We have no reason to send her out at all."
"When Miss Xi Shi is alive, we certainly have no reason to let her leave Gusu City. However, if Miss Xi Shi dies unfortunately, there is no reason not to let Miss Xi Shi go back to her own country."
"You mean..."
After hearing this, everyone else looked at Wang Yun.Under the lights, the usually mature and prudent face looked a little ferocious and terrifying.Everyone couldn't help but trembled in fright and shivered.
"Miss Xishi has been seriously ill for a long time. We tried our best to seek medical treatment everywhere, but in the end we couldn't save Miss Xishi. We had to send her body back to Yue State for burial. As envoys of Yue State, this is the last thing we can do. Things." Wang Yun's voice became calmer.
"But, she, she got the plague..."
"Don't worry, we don't need to do anything, and we don't need to get close to her. Lock the door and close it for a few days, and Miss Xi Shi will die of misfortune. We just need to prepare a mat, and when the time comes, wrap it up together with the quilt and put it in the coffin. Send it out Outside the city, set a torch to burn the coffin, and it will be over. Afterwards, we will find another corpse and slowly send it back to the country of Yue. After sending it back, the corpse has long since rotted away. Who can recognize who she is? "
After Wang Yun finished speaking, no one spoke, and the room was eerily silent.
"To live or to die? You choose."
The result is obvious, how many people in the world are not greedy for life and afraid of death?
Song Ci was lying in the room, and there was a knocking sound outside the door.Song Ci opened his eyes and found that someone was nailing the door to death with a strip.Song Ci thought for a while, and then understood the intentions of the people outside, and she couldn't help shivering.
People's hearts are sinister, and they actually want to let themselves fend for themselves, trapped to death in the room.
Back then, Duke Huan of Qi appointed Guan Zhong to govern the country, and Qi continued to grow stronger and stronger, and finally he was able to dominate the princes.However, in his later years, Duke Huan of Qi appointed treacherous villains, which eventually caused turmoil in the country.Duke Huan of Qi was trapped in his bedroom, and sealed the bedroom with a wall, leaving only a small hole for ventilation.In the end, Duke Huan of Qi, the overlord of the generation who was famous among the princes, starved to death in his bedroom.The corpse was decomposed and smelled so bad that no one found it for many days.
Since ancient times, how many people have taken Duke Huan of Qi as their goal in life, and wanted to achieve a thousand-year hegemony like him.However, there are not many people who carefully examine his fate and think quietly about those who play tricks, how many people can die well.
Thinking of this, Song Ci couldn't help but rejoice that she was not Qi Huangong who was weak and seriously ill back then.Song Ci was even more thankful that she had been pretending to be sick for so long, and people outside thought she was half dead, so they must not know that she is alive and well now.
Wanting to trap her in it, they dreamed.
The sound of knocking and knocking lasted for a long time, and the doors and windows were nailed with wooden strips, without missing a single bit.
Song Ci sneered in his heart. Fortunately, he was smart and pretended to be an infectious disease.If they were pretending to be other diseases, why didn't they rush in and kill themselves?
At night, Song Ci quietly climbed out from the roof.These fools only know how to nail up the doors and windows.This is a thatched house with sealed doors and windows, and a roof.After sneaking out, Song resigned to get water and food, and prepared some makeup props.Because I don't know how long the people from the Vietnam Mission are going to seal the door.Song Ci prepared a lot of water and food at once and hid them on the roof.
Thanks to the gift of the Vietnamese Mission, Song Ci can now run out during the day and wander around the city of Gusu.Invisibly, he also helped Song Ci a great favor.After preparing the necessities for survival, Song Ci wandered around the streets and alleys of the capital.
It is much easier to inquire about news and collect various intelligence during the day than at night.
After Fu Chai led the Wu army to go out, the capital became much empty, and the number of young men on the street decreased significantly.Many people's homes, which are usually handled by men, are now run by women.Even some very young children have to help the family with things.I can no longer play casually on the street as usual.
In Fucha's absence, the prince will be in charge of the city for the time being, and the queen will be in charge of the affairs in the palace.Unlike Fu Chai, Prince Wu is a gentle and honest person.He may not be smart enough, but he is very tolerant to the people.After Fu Chai left, the prince ordered to temporarily exempt the people in the capital from taxes, allowing them to recuperate and develop their livelihoods.In the palace, the queen also ordered the people in the palace to behave in peace, be cautious in their words and deeds, and wait for the king to return in triumph.The troublesome husband is not around, and the prince and queen don't cause much trouble.The people in Gusu City can also take a breath and focus on labor and production.
Song Ci was walking on the street, and he could clearly feel people's enthusiasm for production.Perhaps Fu Chai never knew that what the people of Wu State wanted was not to dominate the Central Plains and be invincible in the world.All they want is a full meal and a warm home.
Looking at their faces full of hope and longing, Song Ci was also quite moved.Who would have thought that in a few years, the Wu State, which is now so strong and prosperous, would be defeated by the Yue State.Fu Chai will ruin his country and family, and will completely withdraw from the stage of Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and be forgotten by history.
Walking on the streets of Gusu City, Song Ci also felt a little dazed.Thousands of years later, how many people still remember that there used to be an extremely prosperous Wu country here?
Song Ci once went to Suzhou, and also to an ancient town called Mudu there.Mudu is known as the first town in Wuzhong.It is said that at that time, Fu Chai, king of Wu, built palaces and pavilions in a big way, and transported a lot of precious wood from all over the country.Ships transporting timber blocked the river, and the blocked place has since been called Mudu.
When he was in the ancient town of Mudu, how could Song Ci think that he would be in the late Spring and Autumn Period thousands of years ago by mistake.He also became a figure who has been talked about since ancient times in this well-known Wuyue battle for hegemony.
Lingyan Mountain, Zishi Mountain, Guanwa Palace, Gusu Terrace, Ring Clog Gallery...
Those historical smoke and dust related to Xi Shi are quietly blowing on Song Ci.It is a pity that because of the coming of Song Ci, these buildings that may have existed in history will no longer appear.In the history of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony, Xi Shi will no longer appear.
Perhaps it was because the long-standing wish was about to come true, and Song Ci's mood became very peaceful.Song Ci also gradually felt relieved about the people in the Vietnam embassy.In order to survive herself, she still went to great lengths.They do whatever it takes to survive.Everyone is each other, no one is more noble, it is just for survival.
Song Ci waited quietly.After the doors and windows were sealed for nine days, there was finally movement outside.
Song Ci clearly heard the sound of pulling out the wedge and taking down the wooden board.Song Ci didn't cover her face, she just closed her eyes.A quilt rushed towards her face, wrapping herself up.After moving for a while, he was moved to a narrow place, probably a coffin.After being loaded into the coffin, Song Ci was moved to a cart, and was dragged away unsteadily.
After confirming that he was put on the cart, Song Ci took out the dagger that was next to him.The bronze swords of the Yue Kingdom are famous in history. The famous Goujian Sword and the Eight Swords of the King of Yue have left many legends.The dagger Song Ci was holding was also made by craftsmen from the Yue Kingdom, and it was extremely sharp.
This was given to Song Ci by Yue Nv when she left Yue.In order to please Yue Nu, Gou Jian gave several sharp swords to Yue Nu.Yue Nu gave Song Ci the most delicate handle.
After taking out the dagger, Song Ci carefully cut in the middle of the seam of the coffin board.It didn't take long before she created a thin slit so as not to suffocate herself.
The cart kept shaking and creaking.Song Ci could feel that the car was moving very fast.It seems that those envoys from the country of Yue were really scared.
After a long time, the cart arrived at the city gate.The envoys of the Yue Kingdom had already prepared the city guards, and the group easily passed the city defenses and came to the outside of Gusu City.
As soon as the car left the city gate, Song Ci raised his vigilance.She didn't know what these Vietnamese envoys would do.Nine times out of ten, he won't bury himself well, maybe there will be a body destroyed and no evidence of death.
"Doctor Wang, where are we going now?"
"Go on, go into the mountain. Find a place where there are no people, and burn the coffin there."
"There are ferocious beasts in and out of the mountain. If we encounter them, it will be dangerous. Why don't we find a hidden place under the mountain and burn them."
"What you said makes sense, then let's hurry up. If we wait until the sun goes down, we will be in danger."
After walking for a while, Song Ci could vaguely hear the chirping of birds and insects, and it seemed that he was approaching the forest.
Along the way, the members of the Vietnam Mission were very silent.Except for the conversation just now, no one spoke again.After all, what they did was something with no conscience and no morals.How many people can do this kind of thing in a good mood, without any grievances, and talk freely?
Song Ci's heartbeat was also fast.They must figure out a way to get out before they get to the place they have chosen
How can this group of guys be so frightened that they run away without caring about the coffin?
After much deliberation, there seems to be no other good way than pretending to be a ghost.So, Song Ci listened to the voices outside, ready to see the opportunity, and started knocking on the coffin.
After a long time, when the car stopped slowly, Song Ci held his breath.
coming.
Song Ci stretched out his hand, ready to knock on the coffin.At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside.The people of the Vietnam Mission also began to panic.
After a burst of shouting and killing, the outside became quiet again.
"Okay, good man, spare your life."
"We are all bandits who cut the path, hand over the money quickly, and spare you not to kill!"
Hearing this voice, Song Ci suddenly felt absurd.When they came, they met fake robbers on the road.Who knew that he would meet a real robber now.
"Heroic man, spare your life, heroic man, spare your life! Please take whatever you like, as long as we are spared."
"Brother, look at that coffin! They are for funerals, and valuable things must be in the coffin!"
Hearing this, Song Ci didn't know how to react for a while.
"You idiot, take a good look. The coffin is so tattered, how could there be something valuable in it? It must be on them."
"Gentlemen, please forgive me. The villains are all poor people in the city. The villain's daughter died of illness. The villain's family is poor and has no money for a proper burial. I can only buy a thin coffin and send my daughter to be buried outside the city."
"Brother, you see they are dressed in tatters, and they don't look like rich people. It seems that we robbed the wrong person this time."
"No, they're lying."
"Oh, what do you say, brother?"
"Brother, the clothes they wear are indeed tattered. But look, the shoes on their feet are not ordinary straw sandals, they are boots that rich people can afford."
"Sure enough, the second child is smart, and you were almost deceived by them. If you don't hand over your valuables, I will ask you all to feed the tigers."
"Don't be angry, sir! It's true that the villains are not rich. These shoes were stolen by the villains. If you don't believe me, the villains will take off all the clothes on your body. If you like it, please all take it."
After all, there was a rustling sound, and Song Ci could probably imagine the situation outside.A few old men undressing to a bunch of old men, that scene is really beautiful.
"Gentlemen, please take a look."
"Brother, they are indeed wearing tattered clothes, and only those few pairs of shoes are okay. This time it's really unlucky."
"Fifth, look again. If they are really poor, how come they are all skinny and tender, without calluses on their hands?"
"Yeah, what the second brother said is right. You nasty guys, how dare you lie to me, and see if I don't kill you!"
"Master, please forgive me!"
"Hurry up and tell the truth, if you dare to lie to me again, I will kill you one by one."
"We're really not rich."
"Still stubborn."
"Don't kill me! I said, I said, we are all envoys of the Yue Kingdom, not rich people in Gusu City."
"The envoy of the Yue Kingdom? How dare you make fun of me, uncle, and still lie to me!"
"Really! We are really the envoys of the Yue Kingdom. If you don't believe me, you can ask the lord, he is our leader."
"The matter has come to this, and I dare not hide it anymore. We are indeed envoys of the Yue Kingdom. All heroes, please spare our lives. We did not bring any money when we came out this time. However, we also have some treasures in the city. If you guys are willing, we can send someone back to get it and dedicate it to you guys, please don't kill us."
"Oh, how many treasures do you have?"
"There are many treasures that my king Goujian paid tribute to the King of Wu. There are gold pearls and high-quality jade."
"If you really have these things, it's not impossible to let you live. If you don't have them, none of you can live."
"Yes, yes, we absolutely dare not lie to the uncle. I will let someone pick it up right away, please wait a moment, gentlemen."
"Wait, old six, you go with him, keep an eye on him and don't play tricks, if he does anything wrong, kill him immediately."
"Okay, second brother."
After a burst of noise, the outside became temporarily quiet again.Song Ci prayed silently in his heart, hoping that these bandits would leave after taking the money, and don't get entangled here.It's a pity that they come here for whatever they are afraid of. These bandits not only rob houses, they are also full of curiosity.The coffin containing Song Ci soon became the object of their attention.
"You are all officials from the Yue Kingdom, why did you run out with a coffin?"
"This……"
"Say it quickly! Is there any ulterior secret in it?"
"There's really nothing in there, just a dead person."
"Dead, what dead?"
"A girl."
"It's strange, why do you officials from the Yue Kingdom drag a dead girl here? Could it be that you killed her?"
"No, no, it's not her, she, she died of illness."
"If she really died of illness, why are you stammering so much? Could it be that you are murdering for money? Well, you are really vicious, even more vicious than us bandits."
"No, no, this girl really died of illness."
"What does letting sickness and death have to do with you?"
"This... she is also from Yue."
"Oh, how could a girl from Yue country appear in Gusu City?"
"..."
"Speak quickly! If you don't speak, I will kill you!"
"I said, I said, she, she is also a treasure that our king dedicated to King Wu."
"You're lying again, how can a woman be a treasure?"
"Old Wu, you don't understand this. They Yue Kingdom was defeated by our king before, and they have to pay tribute to our Wu Kingdom every year."
"Second brother, of course I understand, but what does this have to do with women?"
"That woman was sent by Gou Jian, it means that she is very beautiful, so she was given to the king as a treasure. Our king is very lustful."
"So that's it. What does the woman called Treasure look like? I really want to take a look."
"It's not easy, as long as you walk over and lift the coffin board, you will know."
"Good idea, I'll go right away."
Impossible, absolutely impossible! "
"How dare you stop me!"
"Master, calm down! It's not that I want to stop you, it's just that this coffin really cannot be opened!"
"why?"
"That woman... died of illness."
"I'm not deaf. I've heard what you said. If you die of illness, you will die of illness. What's the big deal?"
"But, she..."
"Shut up, gentlemen want to see, don't be ignorant there, get out of the way! Just ask gentlemen to watch."
"Yes……"
Hearing this, Song Ci's heart tightened, and he clenched the dagger in his hand.
"Fifth, don't move yet."
"Ah, what's the matter, brother?"
"What disease did this woman die of?"
"She, she died of a heart attack."
"is it?"
"Yes……"
"Then, go and open the coffin and let us have a look."
"Here, I, I..."
"What about me, go!"
"No, no."
"Second brother, this guy is a coward. If he doesn't dare to go to me, isn't he just a dead man? It's not like he hasn't seen it before."
"Fifth, don't go, that woman has a problem."
"The second brother is right. If the woman really died of illness, how could these guys dress up like this, sneak this woman out of the city, and bring her here?"
"Listen, if you don't tell the truth, even if you get the treasure, you will die."
"I said, I said, she, she died of the plague."
"plague?!"
"real or fake?"
"Oh my God!"
"Old Five, come back quickly and stay away from them!"
"What does it look like to be in such a panic, please calm down and don't lose our face."
Panic, panic, it's best to scare you all away, Song Ci said silently in the coffin.
"You guys are so bold. If that woman really died of the plague, aren't you afraid of being infected?"
"It was because of fear that we had no choice but to wrap her in a quilt and put her in a coffin, trying to smuggle her out of the city and burn her."
"Burn?"
"Yes, people who have the plague can also infect them after they die. The only way is to bury or burn them and not touch them."
"She and you are both from the country of Yue, but you are so ruthless that you want to let her die?"
"You guys don't know, so there's nothing we can do. If we want to bury her, we have to dig a deep hole. We don't have any tools at all. We have no other choice but to burn her."
"It's simple. We have it, so let's just lend it to you."
"This……"
"Stop talking nonsense, while Lao Liu and the others are going to get the treasure, you dig a hole and bury her quickly. Burning someone else's body will be bad luck."
At this time, Song Ci in the coffin wished he could cheat the corpse immediately, scare the guy named Lao Wu to death, and tell him to be troublesome.But no matter what Song Ci said
There was the sound of creaking and opening the door, and Song Ci was in a daze.When she first came, it seemed like this was the case.I don't know when she will be able to leave this era.Can she go back to her time?
"How is Miss Xi Shi's condition?"
"My lord, Miss Xi Shi has been in a coma for a long time. Mrs. Jun invited many doctors for Miss Xi Shi, but nothing worked. I'm afraid..."
"It's already this serious?"
"The doctors who came to treat Miss Xi Shi all said that there was nothing they could do about Miss Xi Shi's illness. There was nothing I could do either."
Song Ci closed his eyes while listening to their conversation.
In fact, Song Ci said that he was pretending to be sick, but in fact he was just pretending to be in a coma.The doctors are here, after taking her pulse.If you are not smart, you can't see anything.Clever, it can be seen that Xi Shi was born with heart disease.But even if they could see it, they couldn't cure it.Song Ci also knew that this problem should not be cured.If it was in her time, maybe there was Zhi, and now there is little expectation.
After a few conversations with the people in the room, they left.
After they left, Song Ci opened his eyes.After coming to Wu country, she spent most of the time pretending to be sick.There were a few times of this, and it wasn't just pretending, it was a real illness.What Song Ci was most worried about was how long Xi Shi's body could last.
Song Ci once thought about whether to seek medical treatment after escaping.See if you can find a doctor with excellent medical skills, who can delay the life of this body.Song Ci could think of Bian Que as the only famous doctor born in this era.It's a pity that Song Ci came too late. Bian Que passed away more than ten years ago.It is impossible to seek medical treatment from him.
After much deliberation, Song Ci decided to do his best to obey the destiny.If you can escape, try to find a doctor.If it can't be cured, I have tried my best, and there is nothing to regret.
Now, everything has turned around, and the situation is not in her favor.No matter how optimistic Song Ci was, he couldn't help being a little impetuous.She worked hard for so long, but accidents appeared one after another.Always jumping out to stop her when she was about to succeed, why didn't she get angry?
Anger is anger, Song Ci still remembers to keep calm.Under such circumstances, if the head is hotheaded, all previous efforts will be wasted.Now, Fu Chai fell ill unexpectedly, and Song Ci had to figure out the situation. How is Fu Chai's condition?If Fu Chai was seriously ill, the war between Qi and Wu would definitely not start.If he had only a minor illness, with Fucha's character, he would definitely go out again after he recovered from his illness.
After all, the preliminary work has been done for so long.Fu Chai took out all the things that Wu Guo could produce.After making such a big move, but in the end he stopped fighting, how can he afford to lose his face?
There are also Gou Jian and Fan Li, who also need attention.Now they are too close, Song Ci will be easily implicated if there is any disturbance.Although she believed that Gou Jian and Fan Li would not be so stupid as to play tricks in Wu's capital.However, accidents happened one after another, and there was no guarantee that one day Gou Jian's head would get hot and he would do something amazing.Now they are grasshoppers on the same rope, she doesn't want to be killed by Gou Jian.
Now that things were going on, Song Ci couldn't bear to lie on the bed and not go out to inquire about news.She can't go out during the day, and everyone is asleep at night, where can she go to get news?
Song Ci racked his brains, and finally decided to go to that guy's house, Bo Pi.Bo Pi was Fu Chai's favorite minister.Because of his husband's difference, Bo Pi, who has no great ability, can enjoy all the glory and wealth in the state of Wu.If Fu Chai had any major problems, Bo Pi would be finished with him.He is definitely one of the people in the capital who cares most about Fu Chai's health.If Fu Chai's condition was really serious, it would be strange that Bo Pi could sleep peacefully at home.
Just go to Bo Pi's house and see his reaction, and you can know something about Fu Chai's situation no matter what.Bo Pi's home is much more lax than the palace guards.
After nightfall, Song Ci quietly ran out of the Yue embassy and headed for Bo Pi's house.
Bo Pi's home is not far from that unlucky Tai Bu's home.That area is where Wu officials live, and many relatives of the royal family live there.The guards there are tighter than other places in the capital.However, as long as you figure out the patrol rules of the guards, it is relatively easy to avoid them.
Speaking of it, among a bunch of high-ranking Wu officials, Xiangguo Wu Zixu seemed out of place.He did not live in the area where officials gathered, but set his home in a place surrounded by many civilians.
Song Ci was familiar with the way, walking in the official residence area, and soon arrived at Bo Pi's home.The architectural level of this era is much worse than that of later generations.Even for a favorite like Bo Pi, the place where he lives, in the eyes of Song Ci, is nothing more than a larger earthen house.Compared with those high-rise buildings, it is really not worth mentioning.
Arriving outside the door of Bo Pi's house, Song Ci vaguely saw that there were still lights on inside.Her heart tightened, it was already midnight, and Bo Pi hadn't slept yet.Could it be that Fu Chai's illness is really serious?
Song Ci didn't go over the wall, she walked around the wall of Bo Pi's house.After going around in a circle and basically finding out the layout of the wall, Song Ci chose a place with the lowest risk to dig in.After turning inside, Song Ci carefully observed the surrounding objects, and found that this was the kitchen of Bo Pi's family.It is said to be a kitchen, but it is actually a place with an earthen stove.
Song Ci felt over to check.There is still a strong residual temperature in the stove, which means that the stove has not been turned off for a long time.Song Ci went to check other items in the kitchen, and there were some leftover minced meat on the wooden board.The minced meat is a little solidified, and basically there is no temperature.
It was so late and he was still in the mood to eat. Bo Pi was not in a bad mood.Thinking of this, Song Ci also felt a little relieved.It seems that Fucha's illness is not a big problem.If he was really seriously ill, Bo Pi would not be in a good mood, and would eat supper in the middle of the night.
After checking the kitchen, Song Ci didn't go any further.She climbed over the wall without a sound and left Bo Chu's house.Then, Song Ci ran to another place.
In the dead of night, most people in the capital had already fallen asleep.But some people are working vigorously at this time.Among them are those who deliver daily necessities to the palace.For example, people who deliver water, vegetables, etc., and people who transport all kinds of garbage from the palace.Only by working hard at night can those nobles wake up during the day and enjoy all kinds of fine wine and food.
These people also live roughly within one area.Due to the nature of their work, they make a lot of noise at night.If they live in other areas, the surrounding residents will naturally not tolerate people who come to disturb their dreams in the dead of night.
When it came to the place where the night shift workers lived, Song Ci became even more cautious.There are too many people here, so don't be careless.However, Song Ci doesn't have to worry, this place is actually similar to the street market during the day.It was noisy and lively, and everyone was doing their own work.As long as Song Ci doesn't run out, perform performance art.The probability of other people paying attention to her is not too high.
What Song Ci is wearing now is not the night clothes in TV dramas.She changed into the most common clothes worn by ordinary people in the state of Wu, and also put on some makeup on her face.Make yourself look sallow and malnourished.She also had many moles and birthmarks on her face.When people see her, they don't want to stay on her face.
It can be said that even now Song Ci is going out swaggeringly.People who are busy will not be surprised.People dressed like Song Ci can be found everywhere in the capital of Wu.Who wants to stare at a very common person all the time?
After arriving here, Song Ci hid in a secret corner, quietly listening to the conversations of the people around him.If you want to inquire about news, this is really a very good choice.No matter what era it is, people are very interested in gossip.Places like this are a good place for people to gossip.
After hiding it, Song Ci listened attentively.
In this place, which is more lively than the vegetable market, people are exchanging topics of interest.Some people talk about topics that are thousands of miles away from each other.
"I said, Old Wu, you have pulled a lot more buckets recently than before. Is it true that the nobles in the palace are having diarrhea recently?"
"Don't you send in this venison? On weekdays, this is the most popular."
"The rice tribute from the Yue Kingdom is getting less and less. Does it mean that the king doesn't like to eat the rice from the Yue Kingdom?"
"A few days ago, envoys from the State of Lu paid tribute to a lot of kudzu roots. There are many of them in Wu State. Why did they send them all the way here?"
"It's almost dawn, hurry up, or you won't be able to deliver water in time."
"These chestnut rice are specially prepared for the cranes newly raised by the king, so they must not be scattered."
"My queen, I'm waiting for these gauzes to be used as curtains."
……
Song Ci eavesdropped for a long time.Thanks to these gossip people, she is now in the palace of King Wu, which nobleman likes what, and whoever does not deal with whom.Which country produces the best products, the number of times Fucha travels, etc., useful and useless, I learned a lot of strange information.From this pile of strange information, Song Ci deleted and subtracted, and came to a conclusion: everything in the palace is as usual.Fucha just ate less and stretched more frequently.Other supplies are still the same, and it seems that Fucha has no major problems.
After receiving the news, Song Ci went back contentedly.She can already be sure that the war between Qi and Wu is only delayed for a while and will not end.Just wait for a while, and when Fu Chai is ready, he will definitely lead the army to go out.His own plans were not affected much.After drawing these conclusions, Song Ci felt relieved.There have been too many accidents to disturb her plan, and she doesn't want to make any more messes.
Song Ci waited and waited, feeling that it had been a long, long time.The news of Fu Chai's expedition again spread throughout the capital.It wasn't until Fu Chai's army had gone a long way that Song Ci heaved a sigh of relief, and finally there were no more problems.
So, she immediately began to implement her plan of pretending to be dead.
After returning from outside the city of Gusu, the Vietnamese mission to see off the Wu army.The members of the Vietnam Mission were surprised to find that Miss Xi Shi's condition had a new development.Weird spots began to appear on her body.
The people from the Vietnamese embassy immediately went to invite the doctor.After the doctor came, he didn't see any problem, and left after prescribing a few herbs.Hearing what the doctor said, Song Ci secretly scolded quack doctors for misleading people.The members of the Vietnam Mission obviously had the same idea as Song Ci.Such weird spots, they said there was no problem, but they didn't believe it.
So, the people from the embassy invited other doctors to come.There are also doctors who hold the same opinion as the previous doctor.Others said that Song Ci's symptoms were caused by the invasion of evil spirits, and the accumulation of evil spirits under the skin formed strange spots.
In short, after a series of doctors came, no one found that the spots on Song Ci's body were unusual.Song Ci, who was very frustrated, decided to make persistent efforts, expanding his freckles little by little.
A few days later, the spots on Song Ci's body gradually expanded.Moreover, the color also gradually changed from dark red to blue, and some of them were close to jet black.This frightened the people of the Vietnam Mission, and they rushed to find the doctor.
The previous doctors have been called many times by them.I read Song Ci every time, but every time there was no result, and the medicine didn't work.Most of those doctors are unwilling to come again.No improvement after treatment. Such patients will only smash their brand names and ruin their reputation.Since it can't be cured, it can't be cured.
As a result, these doctors could not be invited, and the members of the Vietnam Mission had to find other ones.In the past, all they invited were famous doctors in the capital.After tossing back and forth, they hired all the doctors they could.Now it has come to the point where there is no doctor to ask for.
Song Ci continued to work hard.After a few more days, a large area of black color patches appeared on her body, and the skin of her whole body was basically gone, and there was no place that looked normal.
At this time, the members of the Vietnam Mission discovered that Song Ci's symptoms this time were very different from those in the past.The symptoms looked more like those that would appear on a person infected with the plague.There was a big plague in the Yue Kingdom before, and there were people in the Yue Kingdom Mission who had personally experienced the plague.How terrible the plague is, no one knows better than those who have experienced it.If what Xishi got was really a plague, then the situation would be really dire.
How to do?
The members of the Vietnam Mission were sitting together, feeling panic and anxiety in their hearts.After Mrs. Goujian and the prince of Yue State left, the envoy Wang Yun, who had been stationed in the capital of Wu State all the year round, was in charge of the Yue State Mission.Wang Yun served as an envoy for many years, traveling back and forth between Wu and Yue all the year round, and Gou Jian also trusted him very much.
When something like this happened, the members of the Yue State Mission were bewildered, and they all looked at Wang Yun, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Regardless of whether Miss Xi Shi has the plague or not, people in the Wu Kingdom must not know about it. Otherwise, we will all die." Wang Yun said solemnly.
Wang Yun's words were not false threats.Everyone knows the horror of the plague, if people know that someone in the Yue embassy has the plague.The people inside will definitely be regarded as having the plague, and no one will give them a chance to survive.
"But paper can't cover fire. How can we hide such a big matter? We have invited so many doctors to see it before. If they tell the truth and people find out, we will only die." An envoy from the Yue Kingdom said.
"At this point, we have only one choice, to send Miss Xi Shi out of Gusu City as soon as possible."
"But Miss Xi Shi is here... We have no reason to send her out at all."
"When Miss Xi Shi is alive, we certainly have no reason to let her leave Gusu City. However, if Miss Xi Shi dies unfortunately, there is no reason not to let Miss Xi Shi go back to her own country."
"You mean..."
After hearing this, everyone else looked at Wang Yun.Under the lights, the usually mature and prudent face looked a little ferocious and terrifying.Everyone couldn't help but trembled in fright and shivered.
"Miss Xishi has been seriously ill for a long time. We tried our best to seek medical treatment everywhere, but in the end we couldn't save Miss Xishi. We had to send her body back to Yue State for burial. As envoys of Yue State, this is the last thing we can do. Things." Wang Yun's voice became calmer.
"But, she, she got the plague..."
"Don't worry, we don't need to do anything, and we don't need to get close to her. Lock the door and close it for a few days, and Miss Xi Shi will die of misfortune. We just need to prepare a mat, and when the time comes, wrap it up together with the quilt and put it in the coffin. Send it out Outside the city, set a torch to burn the coffin, and it will be over. Afterwards, we will find another corpse and slowly send it back to the country of Yue. After sending it back, the corpse has long since rotted away. Who can recognize who she is? "
After Wang Yun finished speaking, no one spoke, and the room was eerily silent.
"To live or to die? You choose."
The result is obvious, how many people in the world are not greedy for life and afraid of death?
Song Ci was lying in the room, and there was a knocking sound outside the door.Song Ci opened his eyes and found that someone was nailing the door to death with a strip.Song Ci thought for a while, and then understood the intentions of the people outside, and she couldn't help shivering.
People's hearts are sinister, and they actually want to let themselves fend for themselves, trapped to death in the room.
Back then, Duke Huan of Qi appointed Guan Zhong to govern the country, and Qi continued to grow stronger and stronger, and finally he was able to dominate the princes.However, in his later years, Duke Huan of Qi appointed treacherous villains, which eventually caused turmoil in the country.Duke Huan of Qi was trapped in his bedroom, and sealed the bedroom with a wall, leaving only a small hole for ventilation.In the end, Duke Huan of Qi, the overlord of the generation who was famous among the princes, starved to death in his bedroom.The corpse was decomposed and smelled so bad that no one found it for many days.
Since ancient times, how many people have taken Duke Huan of Qi as their goal in life, and wanted to achieve a thousand-year hegemony like him.However, there are not many people who carefully examine his fate and think quietly about those who play tricks, how many people can die well.
Thinking of this, Song Ci couldn't help but rejoice that she was not Qi Huangong who was weak and seriously ill back then.Song Ci was even more thankful that she had been pretending to be sick for so long, and people outside thought she was half dead, so they must not know that she is alive and well now.
Wanting to trap her in it, they dreamed.
The sound of knocking and knocking lasted for a long time, and the doors and windows were nailed with wooden strips, without missing a single bit.
Song Ci sneered in his heart. Fortunately, he was smart and pretended to be an infectious disease.If they were pretending to be other diseases, why didn't they rush in and kill themselves?
At night, Song Ci quietly climbed out from the roof.These fools only know how to nail up the doors and windows.This is a thatched house with sealed doors and windows, and a roof.After sneaking out, Song resigned to get water and food, and prepared some makeup props.Because I don't know how long the people from the Vietnam Mission are going to seal the door.Song Ci prepared a lot of water and food at once and hid them on the roof.
Thanks to the gift of the Vietnamese Mission, Song Ci can now run out during the day and wander around the city of Gusu.Invisibly, he also helped Song Ci a great favor.After preparing the necessities for survival, Song Ci wandered around the streets and alleys of the capital.
It is much easier to inquire about news and collect various intelligence during the day than at night.
After Fu Chai led the Wu army to go out, the capital became much empty, and the number of young men on the street decreased significantly.Many people's homes, which are usually handled by men, are now run by women.Even some very young children have to help the family with things.I can no longer play casually on the street as usual.
In Fucha's absence, the prince will be in charge of the city for the time being, and the queen will be in charge of the affairs in the palace.Unlike Fu Chai, Prince Wu is a gentle and honest person.He may not be smart enough, but he is very tolerant to the people.After Fu Chai left, the prince ordered to temporarily exempt the people in the capital from taxes, allowing them to recuperate and develop their livelihoods.In the palace, the queen also ordered the people in the palace to behave in peace, be cautious in their words and deeds, and wait for the king to return in triumph.The troublesome husband is not around, and the prince and queen don't cause much trouble.The people in Gusu City can also take a breath and focus on labor and production.
Song Ci was walking on the street, and he could clearly feel people's enthusiasm for production.Perhaps Fu Chai never knew that what the people of Wu State wanted was not to dominate the Central Plains and be invincible in the world.All they want is a full meal and a warm home.
Looking at their faces full of hope and longing, Song Ci was also quite moved.Who would have thought that in a few years, the Wu State, which is now so strong and prosperous, would be defeated by the Yue State.Fu Chai will ruin his country and family, and will completely withdraw from the stage of Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and be forgotten by history.
Walking on the streets of Gusu City, Song Ci also felt a little dazed.Thousands of years later, how many people still remember that there used to be an extremely prosperous Wu country here?
Song Ci once went to Suzhou, and also to an ancient town called Mudu there.Mudu is known as the first town in Wuzhong.It is said that at that time, Fu Chai, king of Wu, built palaces and pavilions in a big way, and transported a lot of precious wood from all over the country.Ships transporting timber blocked the river, and the blocked place has since been called Mudu.
When he was in the ancient town of Mudu, how could Song Ci think that he would be in the late Spring and Autumn Period thousands of years ago by mistake.He also became a figure who has been talked about since ancient times in this well-known Wuyue battle for hegemony.
Lingyan Mountain, Zishi Mountain, Guanwa Palace, Gusu Terrace, Ring Clog Gallery...
Those historical smoke and dust related to Xi Shi are quietly blowing on Song Ci.It is a pity that because of the coming of Song Ci, these buildings that may have existed in history will no longer appear.In the history of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony, Xi Shi will no longer appear.
Perhaps it was because the long-standing wish was about to come true, and Song Ci's mood became very peaceful.Song Ci also gradually felt relieved about the people in the Vietnam embassy.In order to survive herself, she still went to great lengths.They do whatever it takes to survive.Everyone is each other, no one is more noble, it is just for survival.
Song Ci waited quietly.After the doors and windows were sealed for nine days, there was finally movement outside.
Song Ci clearly heard the sound of pulling out the wedge and taking down the wooden board.Song Ci didn't cover her face, she just closed her eyes.A quilt rushed towards her face, wrapping herself up.After moving for a while, he was moved to a narrow place, probably a coffin.After being loaded into the coffin, Song Ci was moved to a cart, and was dragged away unsteadily.
After confirming that he was put on the cart, Song Ci took out the dagger that was next to him.The bronze swords of the Yue Kingdom are famous in history. The famous Goujian Sword and the Eight Swords of the King of Yue have left many legends.The dagger Song Ci was holding was also made by craftsmen from the Yue Kingdom, and it was extremely sharp.
This was given to Song Ci by Yue Nv when she left Yue.In order to please Yue Nu, Gou Jian gave several sharp swords to Yue Nu.Yue Nu gave Song Ci the most delicate handle.
After taking out the dagger, Song Ci carefully cut in the middle of the seam of the coffin board.It didn't take long before she created a thin slit so as not to suffocate herself.
The cart kept shaking and creaking.Song Ci could feel that the car was moving very fast.It seems that those envoys from the country of Yue were really scared.
After a long time, the cart arrived at the city gate.The envoys of the Yue Kingdom had already prepared the city guards, and the group easily passed the city defenses and came to the outside of Gusu City.
As soon as the car left the city gate, Song Ci raised his vigilance.She didn't know what these Vietnamese envoys would do.Nine times out of ten, he won't bury himself well, maybe there will be a body destroyed and no evidence of death.
"Doctor Wang, where are we going now?"
"Go on, go into the mountain. Find a place where there are no people, and burn the coffin there."
"There are ferocious beasts in and out of the mountain. If we encounter them, it will be dangerous. Why don't we find a hidden place under the mountain and burn them."
"What you said makes sense, then let's hurry up. If we wait until the sun goes down, we will be in danger."
After walking for a while, Song Ci could vaguely hear the chirping of birds and insects, and it seemed that he was approaching the forest.
Along the way, the members of the Vietnam Mission were very silent.Except for the conversation just now, no one spoke again.After all, what they did was something with no conscience and no morals.How many people can do this kind of thing in a good mood, without any grievances, and talk freely?
Song Ci's heartbeat was also fast.They must figure out a way to get out before they get to the place they have chosen
How can this group of guys be so frightened that they run away without caring about the coffin?
After much deliberation, there seems to be no other good way than pretending to be a ghost.So, Song Ci listened to the voices outside, ready to see the opportunity, and started knocking on the coffin.
After a long time, when the car stopped slowly, Song Ci held his breath.
coming.
Song Ci stretched out his hand, ready to knock on the coffin.At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside.The people of the Vietnam Mission also began to panic.
After a burst of shouting and killing, the outside became quiet again.
"Okay, good man, spare your life."
"We are all bandits who cut the path, hand over the money quickly, and spare you not to kill!"
Hearing this voice, Song Ci suddenly felt absurd.When they came, they met fake robbers on the road.Who knew that he would meet a real robber now.
"Heroic man, spare your life, heroic man, spare your life! Please take whatever you like, as long as we are spared."
"Brother, look at that coffin! They are for funerals, and valuable things must be in the coffin!"
Hearing this, Song Ci didn't know how to react for a while.
"You idiot, take a good look. The coffin is so tattered, how could there be something valuable in it? It must be on them."
"Gentlemen, please forgive me. The villains are all poor people in the city. The villain's daughter died of illness. The villain's family is poor and has no money for a proper burial. I can only buy a thin coffin and send my daughter to be buried outside the city."
"Brother, you see they are dressed in tatters, and they don't look like rich people. It seems that we robbed the wrong person this time."
"No, they're lying."
"Oh, what do you say, brother?"
"Brother, the clothes they wear are indeed tattered. But look, the shoes on their feet are not ordinary straw sandals, they are boots that rich people can afford."
"Sure enough, the second child is smart, and you were almost deceived by them. If you don't hand over your valuables, I will ask you all to feed the tigers."
"Don't be angry, sir! It's true that the villains are not rich. These shoes were stolen by the villains. If you don't believe me, the villains will take off all the clothes on your body. If you like it, please all take it."
After all, there was a rustling sound, and Song Ci could probably imagine the situation outside.A few old men undressing to a bunch of old men, that scene is really beautiful.
"Gentlemen, please take a look."
"Brother, they are indeed wearing tattered clothes, and only those few pairs of shoes are okay. This time it's really unlucky."
"Fifth, look again. If they are really poor, how come they are all skinny and tender, without calluses on their hands?"
"Yeah, what the second brother said is right. You nasty guys, how dare you lie to me, and see if I don't kill you!"
"Master, please forgive me!"
"Hurry up and tell the truth, if you dare to lie to me again, I will kill you one by one."
"We're really not rich."
"Still stubborn."
"Don't kill me! I said, I said, we are all envoys of the Yue Kingdom, not rich people in Gusu City."
"The envoy of the Yue Kingdom? How dare you make fun of me, uncle, and still lie to me!"
"Really! We are really the envoys of the Yue Kingdom. If you don't believe me, you can ask the lord, he is our leader."
"The matter has come to this, and I dare not hide it anymore. We are indeed envoys of the Yue Kingdom. All heroes, please spare our lives. We did not bring any money when we came out this time. However, we also have some treasures in the city. If you guys are willing, we can send someone back to get it and dedicate it to you guys, please don't kill us."
"Oh, how many treasures do you have?"
"There are many treasures that my king Goujian paid tribute to the King of Wu. There are gold pearls and high-quality jade."
"If you really have these things, it's not impossible to let you live. If you don't have them, none of you can live."
"Yes, yes, we absolutely dare not lie to the uncle. I will let someone pick it up right away, please wait a moment, gentlemen."
"Wait, old six, you go with him, keep an eye on him and don't play tricks, if he does anything wrong, kill him immediately."
"Okay, second brother."
After a burst of noise, the outside became temporarily quiet again.Song Ci prayed silently in his heart, hoping that these bandits would leave after taking the money, and don't get entangled here.It's a pity that they come here for whatever they are afraid of. These bandits not only rob houses, they are also full of curiosity.The coffin containing Song Ci soon became the object of their attention.
"You are all officials from the Yue Kingdom, why did you run out with a coffin?"
"This……"
"Say it quickly! Is there any ulterior secret in it?"
"There's really nothing in there, just a dead person."
"Dead, what dead?"
"A girl."
"It's strange, why do you officials from the Yue Kingdom drag a dead girl here? Could it be that you killed her?"
"No, no, it's not her, she, she died of illness."
"If she really died of illness, why are you stammering so much? Could it be that you are murdering for money? Well, you are really vicious, even more vicious than us bandits."
"No, no, this girl really died of illness."
"What does letting sickness and death have to do with you?"
"This... she is also from Yue."
"Oh, how could a girl from Yue country appear in Gusu City?"
"..."
"Speak quickly! If you don't speak, I will kill you!"
"I said, I said, she, she is also a treasure that our king dedicated to King Wu."
"You're lying again, how can a woman be a treasure?"
"Old Wu, you don't understand this. They Yue Kingdom was defeated by our king before, and they have to pay tribute to our Wu Kingdom every year."
"Second brother, of course I understand, but what does this have to do with women?"
"That woman was sent by Gou Jian, it means that she is very beautiful, so she was given to the king as a treasure. Our king is very lustful."
"So that's it. What does the woman called Treasure look like? I really want to take a look."
"It's not easy, as long as you walk over and lift the coffin board, you will know."
"Good idea, I'll go right away."
Impossible, absolutely impossible! "
"How dare you stop me!"
"Master, calm down! It's not that I want to stop you, it's just that this coffin really cannot be opened!"
"why?"
"That woman... died of illness."
"I'm not deaf. I've heard what you said. If you die of illness, you will die of illness. What's the big deal?"
"But, she..."
"Shut up, gentlemen want to see, don't be ignorant there, get out of the way! Just ask gentlemen to watch."
"Yes……"
Hearing this, Song Ci's heart tightened, and he clenched the dagger in his hand.
"Fifth, don't move yet."
"Ah, what's the matter, brother?"
"What disease did this woman die of?"
"She, she died of a heart attack."
"is it?"
"Yes……"
"Then, go and open the coffin and let us have a look."
"Here, I, I..."
"What about me, go!"
"No, no."
"Second brother, this guy is a coward. If he doesn't dare to go to me, isn't he just a dead man? It's not like he hasn't seen it before."
"Fifth, don't go, that woman has a problem."
"The second brother is right. If the woman really died of illness, how could these guys dress up like this, sneak this woman out of the city, and bring her here?"
"Listen, if you don't tell the truth, even if you get the treasure, you will die."
"I said, I said, she, she died of the plague."
"plague?!"
"real or fake?"
"Oh my God!"
"Old Five, come back quickly and stay away from them!"
"What does it look like to be in such a panic, please calm down and don't lose our face."
Panic, panic, it's best to scare you all away, Song Ci said silently in the coffin.
"You guys are so bold. If that woman really died of the plague, aren't you afraid of being infected?"
"It was because of fear that we had no choice but to wrap her in a quilt and put her in a coffin, trying to smuggle her out of the city and burn her."
"Burn?"
"Yes, people who have the plague can also infect them after they die. The only way is to bury or burn them and not touch them."
"She and you are both from the country of Yue, but you are so ruthless that you want to let her die?"
"You guys don't know, so there's nothing we can do. If we want to bury her, we have to dig a deep hole. We don't have any tools at all. We have no other choice but to burn her."
"It's simple. We have it, so let's just lend it to you."
"This……"
"Stop talking nonsense, while Lao Liu and the others are going to get the treasure, you dig a hole and bury her quickly. Burning someone else's body will be bad luck."
At this time, Song Ci in the coffin wished he could cheat the corpse immediately, scare the guy named Lao Wu to death, and tell him to be troublesome.But no matter what Song Ci said
